  • the reference numeral 3 designates a readout apparatus constituted by a display which provides the sum of the value of the inserted coins and is associated with a series of indicator lights 4.
  • the user after inserting the coins into the appropriate slot, sees the sum of said coins appear on the lighted display 3 until the amount preset by the sales operator is reached. At this point one of the indicator lights of the set designated by the reference numeral 4 blinks to indicate that the machine can be started for the dispensing of a warm toast.
  • slots 5-5a-5b to allow the user to pick up the cooked product, which is a toast in the case being described but can in any case be replaced with similar food such as pizzas, sandwiches or brioches which are always and in any case cooked or warm.
  • the reference numeral 6 generally designates a substantially C-shaped metal container wherein a pre-packaged toast 7 has been inserted manually; the entire unit, i.e. the metal container 6 and the toast 7, are further wrapped in a non-toxic heat-shrinking plastic material 8 which is in any case such as to preserve the product contained therein.
  • Said container 6 and many other identical ones are manually inserted along appropriate guides 9 so as to form a complete stack one above the other.
  • the device shown in figure 5 more specifically termed station for cutting and extracting the toast from its container, starts to operate.
  • the reference numeral 10 in fact designates an appropriate C-shaped device which has two lateral wings 11 and 12 which are frontally inclined, have a sharp edge, and are joined to a flat face 13 which is frontally provided with a sharp serration 14.
  • Said cutting device 10 has on its trailing edge, in any case in a position which is opposite to the cutting blade 14, a rigid cross-member 15, acting as a pusher, with which a shaped arm 16 is associated and forms an integral part thereof; said arm is connected to a threaded transmission shaft 18 by means of a support 17.
  • Said shaped arm 16 has another cutting element with a blade 20 in the position 19.
  • the reference numerals 21 and 22 designate two further metal blocks which are shown in figure 7a and have retracting pins 23 and 24 which are contrasted by springs
  • the cutting station constituted by the device designated by the reference numeral 10 advances horizontally on a motorized shaft 18 due to its engagement by the support 17. This advancement causes the serrated edge 14 to cut the heat-shrinking package in the upper part of the container 6a of the toast and, as the cutting device 10 continues to advance, said heat-shrinking material is cut in the lower part of the container by means of the blade 20 associated with the arm 16.
  • the cross-member 15 associated therewith makes contact with the toast 7 and pushes it, releasing it from the metal container 6.
  • the cutting device 10 inside the toast carrying container 6 continues to advance until it passes beyond the metal container 6 so as to release the two retracting devices 23 and 24 which are contrasted by the springs 25 and 26.
  • said two devices constituted by two cylindrical pins with a chamfered front edge, by engaging the points "a” and "b" of the vertical wings 11 and 12 of the cutting device during the return stroke, move the metal container, disengaging it from the loading row 9.
  • Said container due to the lack of further supporting guides, drops onto an appropriate conveyor belt 27 which is automatically actuated by a limit switch of the cutting station and conveys the container 6 and the heat-shrinking protection into a collection drawer 28.
  • the container will subsequently be removed and, in another place, washed, sterilized, refilled with new product, blister-packaged and returned to the cycle.
  • the product 7 is pushed by the cross-member 15 which belongs to the cutting device into the subsequent pickup station 29.
  • Said pickup station 29 is constituted by a horizontal support 30 which can rotate freely about its motorized shaft 31.
  • the movement of said station is of the stepwise type: in other words, to cover a 180° angle during the active step it interrupts its motion at 90° for a preset time, described hereinafter, whereas in the passive or return step it covers 180° in a single sequence.
  • Two series of toast carrying arms 32 and 33 are associated on said shaft 31 and are contrasted by springs 34 which apply tension so as to grip the toast 7 interposed between the arms.
  • springs 34 which apply tension so as to grip the toast 7 interposed between the arms.
  • the horizontal support 30 has been replaced with a different support, generally designated by the reference numeral 30A, which comprises a central core 3OB.
  • Said central core is mounted coaxially with respect to a shaft 30C which can rotate freely and is rigidly associated with the structure of the machine.
  • Two or more cams designated by the reference numeral 30D, are present on said shaft 30C.
  • the movement of the core 3OB due to the drive 31 interferes with the cams 30D so as to move outwardly a pair of blades 30E and 3OF supporting arms 32A and 33A.
  • the return of said blades 30E and 3OF is obtained by means of one or more pairs of contrast springs which keep the product firmly secured once the cams 30D have been disengaged.
  • Said station works as follows: in the horizontal positions, the cams 30D push the arm supporting blades 30E and 3OF so as to move them mutually apart parallel to each other in order to facilitate the insertion and extraction of the product. In the vertical position said blades, by disengaging from the cams 30D, due to the contrast springs, cause the parallel closing of the toast supporting arms, thus obtaining perfect adhesion between the gripper and the product inserted therein during cooking.
  • the drive causes movement from the horizontal position of the pickup station 29, shown in figure 9a, to the vertical position 9b.
  • the reference numerals 34a, 34b, 34c designate three per se known inductive sensors which are suitable to block the rotary motion of the product carrying gripper.
  • the cooking station designated by the reference numeral 35, starts to operate in the position 9b.
  • Said station is constituted by an oven with electric resistors 36 and 37, is fixed on a support 38, and is associated by means of a threaded bush 39 with a motorized pivot 40.
  • the movement of said cooking station is vertical, first downward, in the direction designated by the arrow B of figure 9b, and then, after cooking, in the direction indicated by the upward arrow C.
  • Said cooking station as already described, has some structural solutions, the first whereof is the preheating of the oven from the moment when the machine is started until the optimum temperature is reached, said optimum temperature being kept constant until the end of the cooking step.
  • the cooking step occurs with a diversified power supply to the electric resistors.
  • This solution causes the heat to spread from the outside to the inside of the product uniformly by convection without causing the overcooking of the outer parts with respect to the inner ones (caused by the action of the infrared rays) .
  • the oven 35 switches off and disengages from the pickup station 29, to return to the initial position, by means of electronically controlled devices.
  • the reference numeral 41 designates a set of extraction combs which is constituted by a plurality of vertical pins 42 appropriately shaped and associated with a single support 43 which is joined to a slider provided with a threaded bush 44 that is coaxial to a motorized threaded bar 45.
  • Said set of combs 41 is interposed between the toast 7 and the motorized shaft 31 supporting the gripper parts 32 and 33; accordingly, the advancement of said set of combs 41, due to the action of the motorized shaft 45, causes the movement of the toast towards the outlet and the consequent disengagement of the gripper parts 32 and 33.
  • FIG 11 more clearly illustrates this step of operation.
  • the thrust of the combs 41 on the toast 7 causes its horizontal advancement.
  • the toast is partially wrapped by means of napkin-like paper which is automatically dispensed by a feeder designated by the reference numeral 46.
  • Said feeder is constituted by a paper reel 47 mounted on a freely rotatable shaft.
  • the paper strip designated by the reference numeral 48, is caused to advance by a motorized wheel 49.
  • an electronic control device causes the paper dispensing station to dispense an amount of paper that arranges itself at right angles to the advancement direction of the toast. Accordingly, during the first part of its advancement the toast is partially wrapped by said paper strip, and the continuous advancement of the toast causes said paper dispensing station to dispense more paper until it allows the complete wrapping of the toast.
  • the reference numeral 50 designates a flap that moves in a single direction and is raised by the already-cooked product in its advancement towards the slot 5a, ready to be taken by the consumer.
  • the pulling action performed on the toast by the consumer tears the napkin strip; this tearing is facilitated by an inclined blade 51 having a serrated edge 52.
  • the extraction of the toast from the gripper makes the comb return to its initial position.
  • Said position activates the return rotation through 180° of the product carrying gripper in a single sequence.
  • the paper dispensing station distributes the preset amount of paper, which arranges itself at right angles to the direction of the toast to be dispensed.
  • an appropriate refrigeration unit generally designated by the reference numeral 52 in figure 3, which is provided substantially to ensure the preservation of the uncooked product in case of prolonged inactivity of the vending machine.
  • the intended and above specified aim and objects have therefore all been achieved, the foremost being the provision of a vending machine for dispensing cooked toasts that operates perfectly.
  • Another advantage achieved is that the disengagement of a pre-packaged toast from a container that is blister- packaged with heat-shrinking material has been obtained without however bringing any trace of the package into the cooking cycle.
  • Another advantage achieved is the uniform cooking of the toast throughout by using an appropriate oven so as to achieve optimum cooking.
  • Another advantage obtained is the complete wrapping of the toast with napkin-type paper so as to avoid direct contact with the user's hands.
  • the final advantage that is obtained is the provision of a vending machine having simple mechanical parts that can be easily inspected both for cleaning and for the loading step. Variations may be necessary during the practical execution of the invention.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
